About the program

Studying in Australia was hands down the best decision I have ever made. I have grown
so much as a person. I am happier, more confident and now comfortable in any new situation.

Overview

The International Engineering Certificate program, administered by the College of
Engineering, encourages a computer science or engineering major to gain an appreciation
of the global environment into which he or she will graduate.

A student who pursues the certificate should be more marketable upon graduation, as
well as a better global citizen. Earning the certificate, which appears on a student's
transcript, is a step towards becoming a global computer scientist or engineer: someone
who can live, work and perform anywhere.

If you're thinking about studying, working or volunteering abroad for a period of
as little as two weeks, then it makes sense to consider earning the certificate.

A student must pick a country or region of the world as an international focus and
complete a minimum of 15 credits of relevant coursework as follows:

If MSU offers language courses that are relevant to the student's international focus
(Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish), the student must complete
the relevant language courses through 201 with a grade of C- or better.

Other courses can be selected that relate to the language, culture, history, geography,
society, business and/or institutions of the student's international focus. A C- or
better must be earned.
